After the death of his father at the hands of the Hunyadi, Vlad swore vengeance. But his bloody reign would be oft delayed. A number of circumstances both political and otherwise kept Vlad III from his throne. In fact, his first attempt net him a glorious reign of... 2 months before he had to flee into exile. But as he continued evading capture and staying alive despite all odds, he found an unlikely ally. Hunyadi himself.

Am sure he had much less of a beard but who knows, maybe he had the beard genetics going for him. Also in regards to hairy Europeans, not really. You just notice the hair more on Romanians and Latin people in general because they tend to have black eyes, black hair and so on. People in Western (minus Spain, for the most part) to Central Europe (and Scandinavia) seem to be less hair because many are blonde thus it's much less noticeable, given that darker colors absorb light much better.

Reading about Vlad Tepes makes just about every other version of Dracula seem tame by comparison. Dracula's a problem if you like ignoring warnings from superstitious peasants and hanging with pale people after sunset, otherwise you're probably fine. If you are less honest than Ned Flanders you are at risk of impalement from 'ol Vlad. Or if you're a boyar, or a beggar, or cripple, or if he thinks you're lazy, or a thief, or not showing the proper respect, or a Turk, you risk a very short life filled with mostly very bad things.

Laying some bricks for some castle or fortification does not require much education or skills, you see it done once or twice and you can do it, too. I guess he did not experience poverty given that, well, he was the son of a voivode. No idea, really, has someone got sources on this?

Thanks for teaching me that! BTW Vlad's cousin Stephen, future Stephen III the Great of Moldavia, could get his own series. On the HistoryMarche channel, you can find a preaty sweet video about the Battle of Vaslui, 1475, where he defeated the Ottomans (this time with Poes as his allies).

First: I'm pleasantly surprised by the pronunciation of Hunyadi. Close second: damn that guy had a lot on his plate! Respect!

Dracula was loyal to his duty instead of looking for personal revenge, even if Hunyadi killed his own father. Can we all appreciate how a maniac armed with stakes was more mature than modern politicians?

Dracula likely thought that personal vengeance would come later, if not by his hands, then by Gods, which given the fact Hunyadi dies to a plague steamroller, looks like God got that one for him. I just like to think Dracula was busy one day, planning this thing or that, sharping a blade or a stake for battle or experiment, maybe performing some civil counciling with his people. A messenger arrives to whisper an urgent missive of the death of his Patron, Hunyadi, to an outbreak of plague. Eyes flash, moustache bristles, and a smile climbs its way up his lips and cheeks as righteous vindication and vengeance was wrought, not by his hands, but by the hand of the Divine.
